Stephen “tWitch” Boss‘ The 2022 funeral is said to have sparked family tensions over the use of non-disclosure agreements.
Two years after Boss died by suicide aged 40, many of his relatives and friends claimed to be a widow Allison Holker it is alleged that they were forced to sign NDA documents in order to attend the service.
“All of us having to sign some weird NDA to attend his funeral – even his own mother whom you have treated like garbage all this time,” So You Think You Can Dance alum Courtney Plattwho competed alongside Boss on season 4 before they both returned as All-Stars in season 7 alongside Holker, allegedly via Instagram earlier this week. “Let’s remember you wouldn’t even have a husband if it wasn’t for her.”
Holker’s daughter Weslie, 16, responded to Platt’s claims, claiming that there was more to the story and explain why the NDAs were requested in the first place.
“I love arguing about the NDAs,” Weslie said in an Instagram video on Friday, January 10. “But in one day, we got to watch an open casket for Stephen. We had a funeral, and then we had a week, and my mother asked for NDAs to be signed when we were seeing Stephen’s body because God forbid someone should take a picture of Stephen and put it on the internet or share it with him. someone else. That’s the kind of thing NDAs are for. That’s not how you can ever talk about Stephen.”
He further praised Weslie Holker, 36, for deciding to ask family members and friends to sign an NDA before the service.
“NDAs are so important, and if you don’t agree, that’s cool,” he added. “I’m thankful that my mom made sure everyone signed an NDA, and she established that rule.”

“She understands at the end of the day, like, this is family,” Weslie said. “So, you all want to disrespect her (while) she’s still nice, she’s still kind, she’s still forgiving, but you have to know, like, until age when Stephen was alive of people who attended our events, they would have to sign NDAs. But now, just because my mum gives the paper, it’s different.”
He added, “That whole day was supposed to be beautiful, and instead, it was less than that. We were going to say our goodbyes, and instead, people were shouting at each other and bashing my mom and, like, that’s a day that’s taken away from her. She can’t remember it as the day we all wanted it to be because his family does it otherwise.”
Boss is survived by his parents, siblings, Holker and their children. In addition to Weslie, the two dancers shared Maddox, 8, and Zaia, 5. (Weslie is Holker’s daughter from a previous relationship, claiming on Friday that Boss never legally adopted her despite her “raising literally” since he was a small child.)
Holker wrote it recently Far This a memoir about her life and marriage to Boss, which prompted public criticism of her online revealed Boss’ addiction struggles and drew his personal diary entries. Members of Boss’s family and other friends condemned Holker for allegedly trying to profit from his death, but he denied the allegations and explained that she just wanted a spotlight for herself on the prevalence and danger of substance abuse and mental health issues.
Weslie also denied accusations that her mother was “hungry for money” or seeking “more fame.”
“It’s not like that mother. Believe me when I say my mom is good — she doesn’t need (money),” Weslie said. “It’s just disappointing. … My mother has made her efforts (with his family). She’s tried as long as she could, but it’s the kind of tipping point where it’s like, this stops like, it’s beyond, just like, trying to maintain a relationship now it’s like you’re all burning bridges and literally it’s fine.”
